Sniper's Car Reviews

Going to do basic reviews of stock cars. Using the TopGear track to perform the tests. They will be driven without TCS.

The tests will include:
0-60
0-100-0
Flying Lap
And more random things like:
Noise
Looks
How it feels

And some pictures.

First off is the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302.
0-60 took 4.97 seconds.
0-100-0 took 13.63 seconds.
The lap time was 1:23.819.
Compared to other V8s, it is somewhat quiet and flat.
Definitely a good looking car. Especially in white.
It is slippery through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd but pretty controllable. Brakes are good.

Great idea Sniper! A couple of FM4 Community members started doing something like this on the forums. This'll be a good way for you to get a feel of some cars you probably wouldn't have driven stock before! The Alfa 33 Stradale from the new pack handles really well stock, so do the Viper ALMS cars

Thanks mark! I might even learn to control cars without TCS. Alright, the next review will be of a Nissan R390.

I've been trying to do the same.There was a race we did the other day on the ring and I think i was using the c9 without TCS. I'm glad I got around without too much trouble. With F1 2012 around the corner I'm trying to learn to drive those without TCS too!

The Nissan R390. An insane car with interior just as insane.
0-60 comes in 4.69 seconds as the tires endlessly spin.
0-100-0 takes 10.73 seconds, the tires still spinning in 3rd.
The lap time took just 1:17.200.
A lower pitch, drone from the V8 twin turbo. Sounds a bit boring.
Looks very sleek, the lines go together well.
It is absolutely crazy and hard to control. It is for expert drivers (mark )
Handles well and is a very quick car.

Next review tomorrow will be of a Maserati MC12. Get ready for a quick lap time.

A day late, but here it is: the Maserati MC12.

0-60 came in at 3.75 seconds.
0-100-0 took only 11.03 seconds.
The insane lap time took 1:15.469 with massive grip keeping it on the road.
An amazing noise coming from the Enzo V12.
A car on Viagra really. A very long body.
A very easy car to drive. A very good car with it's combination of speed, grip, and handling.

Actually a somewhat confusing picture. I'm taking the first turn as i'm correcting a slight slide. It does look like i'm on the follow-through.

you should do the new viper ALMS cars, the stock tunes are great

Alright beef. Which one, Pennzoil or Forza Motorsport? Just kidding but if anyone wants to suggest something, go right ahead.

The Alfa 33! I like that thing stock. I agree with beef those Vipers are sexy. I enjoyed doing the rivals event for them

I'll try to do the Alfa and the Pennzoil Viper tomorrow. My Global Studies teacher isn't exactly a "nice person" when comes to homework.

I've been there before, this year seems to be much easier for me than last year for some unknown reason...

The #93 Pennzoil Viper GTS-R.
0-60 took 4.07 seconds.
0-100-0 10.87 in seconds.
The flying lap was dealt with in just 1:13.372
The sound was okay. To me, Viper V10s sound like they want to rev higher but never end up doing so.
It looks pretty good, very intimidating.
Very slippery in first but that can be solved by short shifting into second.





Big drift in the last turn from the lack of grip in first and second almost propelled me into a spin.

Mark, I will do the Alfa tomorrow because I actually want to take some random photos then go to bed. Don't worry though, it will be done!
